About this Event
Greetings Passionate Connectors!
Join us for a unique experiential gathering in Zen’s beautiful venue in Alexandria, VA.
This is an evening for the curious and adventurous, open to all genders and orientations. Whether this is your first Temple-style event or you’ve attended many, you are welcome in this container of connection, exploration, and authentic expression.
What to Expect
✨ Opening Circle with Major, Lea & Monique – A facilitated space to ground, connect, and set agreements together.
✨ Primal Play Introduction with Major Tom – Tap into your “primal energy” through movement, sound, and playful non-verbal exercises designed to awaken your inner vitality.
✨ Facilitated Connection – Guided activities that help you slow down, explore curiosity, and deepen into embodied presence.
✨ Exploratory Space – A warm, welcoming environment where hugs, laughter, dance, and creative expression can unfold naturally.
This evening celebrates imagination and curiosity. Participation can mean many things: moving, watching, witnessing, or engaging at your own pace. There is no pressure to do any specific activity—your “yes” and your “no” are equally honored.
Who Should Attend
- You enjoy connecting authentically with others in a respectful environment.
- You are curious about your own energy, expression, and boundaries.
- You can communicate your wants clearly (or are willing to learn).
- You bring kindness, openness, and integrity into shared spaces.
If you’re thinking, “I’d love to come but I don’t want to do everything,” please join us anyway. Presence and community are just as valued as active participation.
